A statue of her is erected outside Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theater - in the corner where she often stood smoking.
After her death, a journalist wrote: "The only role that she didn't really managed to play was the role as herself".
Had an extremely good memory: she only had to read a manuscript once to remember it.
Has a daughter: Lotta Hammar.
In 1998, the Swedish Union for Theatre, Artists and Media awarded her their Gold Medal for her "exceptional artistic accomplishments".
The last four New-years-eves of her life, she declamed the poem "Nyårsklockorna" at Skansen in Stockholm.
